1. “It is clear from this record that both appellant and appellee were tenants in common in the property involved as a consequence of the trial court’s action in converting the property owned by the parties from an estate by the entirety to a tenancy in common. ... As such, a fiduciary relationship existed between them which imposed on each a duty to protect and secure their common interest. From February, 1974, to January, 1975, appellee maintained insurance coverage, at her own expense, for the benefit of herself and for appellant. After appellee remarried and decided to move elsewhere, she immediately advised the appellant of her plans to the end that appellant could assume possession of the premises.”
